AMARILLO — Young Conservatives of Texas have announced their endorsement of conservative Republican Marty Rowley for the Texas State Board of Education District 15.

“The State Board of Education is a small but powerful elected body that controls how our schools are run and what students are expected to learn,” said Tony McDonald, YCT senior vice chairman. “Marty can be trusted to ensure that schools are run more efficiently and that the curriculum reflects the common sense and traditional values of our state.”

“Marty Rowley is a principled conservative who uses his skills as a mediator to bring consensus while keeping the main focus on our school children,” said YCT State Chairman Jeff Morris.

“With only 15 members and many diverse viewpoints on the board, having a leader like Marty who can work with all sides while holding strong to his values will be invaluable to the conservative cause. He has shown his passion for investing in Texas’ future through his ongoing efforts with various groups which all emphasize hard work, family values and patriotism,” Morris added”

Rowley responded, “It is a great honor to receive this endorsement from the next generation of conservative leaders in the Lone Star State. YCT’s members are passionate, informed and engaged in the political process. It is encouraging to be endorsed by associations who know a true conservative when they see one and YCT is certainly one of those groups. They also put action to their endorsements and actively campaign for candidates they believe in. I appreciate all of their support.”
